Hang Around Awhile
Pepper Coyote Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reaching out to feel your hand
And I try to find the courage that can keep me hangin' on
You help me be a better me
So many left without a goodbye
A thousand miles in between
I could not have made the change
Lift me up, help me escape
And all the years of hell that seem to fall right by the wayside
And All the times I've needed someone to believe in me
To think about the odds that you'd be sharing in this love
I hope you hang around awhile
Here you stand with your defenses
Build them up and build them strong
It's alright to let them soften as I hold you close at night
No need to hide a thing from me
And all the years of hell that seem to fall right by the wayside
And all the times I've needed someone to believe in me
To think about the odds that you'd be sharing in this love
I hope you hang around awhile
Hang around so you can see me take my second chances
Hang around so you can help me wish on one more star
Hang around so we can take this love and make it shine
I hope you'll hang around a while
